The Feather Fisted Greats

[CutMeMick]

marble are you saying you consider Bradley one of the greats?

Really surprised Loi & Locche are not on there they are usually the 1st names that pop into mind for me...

Honors to Gavilan & Zapata (I consider him a great)

Bradley a great? Not on your life. merely feather fisted.

Loi and Locche both belonged, I was just running out of room.

Didnt this guy once win a round of boxing without throwing a punch?!? Awsum

Greatest pillow fisted of all time? One of the top 4 greatest fighter of all time. One name: Willie "The WIll O The Wisp" Pep. Fact.

How 'bout Wlfred Benitez

How 'bout Wlfred Benitez

Feather fisted? Ask Mauirce Hope what he thinks?

I loved Benitez. I think even he was surprised at the power he unleashed in that one.

Yup. I still think George Kimball got it wrong in his "Four Kings." There weren't four kings (Duran, Hagler, Leonard, Hearns) in that time period who fought each other nine times. There were FIVE who fought one another 12 times. Wilfredo Benitez was a joy to behold.

i honestly feel Wilfred would have beaten SRL if had enough power to make Sugar stay away a bit more. He drove Sugar nuts as it was with his amazing defense

The great Sven Ottke.

I think if they'd fought each other several times, as in the great trilogies of later years, they'd have probably split the results. Both were superb boxers, with Wilfred's defense being better. He had deceptive power, but chose to dodge punches and play defense, rather than go on the offensive. He seemed to enjoy his nickname, "El Radar de St. Just", St. Just in Puerto Rico being his hometown. This was a case of two All-Time Greats facing each other at, or near their prime.

That's what the legend says but there is a bit of controversy around it.

probably my two favorites from the latter 70's are Benitez and arguello

So sad to what has transpired

Arguello feather fisted?

You might want to re-think that one.
"El Flaco Explosivo" means the "Explosive Thin Man" he was far from feather fisted.

62 KO's out of 77 wins.

He has some of the most devastating 1 punch KO's.

Sorry Mick, I certainly didnt mean to include Alexix on the list. My bad. I just wanted to insert how those two were my faves.

I saw Alexis starch more than a few on tv way back. you are correct.

[Master]

Pernell Whitaker if it has not been said before.
The other great German, Henry Maske.
